CDA+SP is 67 according to the latest result. So what other party/parties are possible in addition?

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Re: Good call (none / 0)

The truth? None.

Only Wilders (impossible) or a cobmination of 2 other parties. ChristenUnie + GroenLinks? ChrisenUnie + D66? It's all pretty hopeless.

Re: Good call (none / 0)

No, but not common. I can't even recall that it has been done before, until this year.

67 seats sounds as too little, especially in a partnership of CDA and SP.
